At first I thought thousands of Syrians were protesting Christmas.
It does not surprise me that foreign powers would use the religious diasporas in Syria, to try to destabilise the country.

Diasporas isn't the right word as most if not all of them are native Syrians, but yeah that's exactly what they're doing.

Honestly turkey should do this too instead of just making it a time for sales and purchases
